This is not debatable.And that's the problem in your life with things that go far beyond this game.It's called "concrete thinking," and it causes trouble.The fact is that just today I was in a Rift and didn't get a single drop on the way to the RG, and the RG dropped nothing but common loot, gold, gems, and mats. No FS, no Leg. I went on to clear the Rift and picked up 3 Legs.So you can't rebuke any of the points I laid out, and resort to attacks. No on…

Clear the entire Rift, all levels, right to the return obelisk, picking up all loot along the way.This method maximizes the number of Legendary items, XP, Gold, and crafting materials gained during the Rift.No, it does not. How does clearing a completed rift "maximize" the number of legendary items, as opposed to clearing a new rift with those same legendaries, plus blood shards, plus a guardian?How does clearing a completed rift "maximize" the XP, Gold, and crafting materials, as opposed to getting the same XP, gold, and crafting materials, plus bloods…

Crusaders only 2 rifts behind, tied with WDs.Who wants to guess without looking at his profile the OP plays melee?Too bad facts trump your biased QQ.

Someone already pointed it out, but I'll explain it in slightly more detail.You are rolling a binomial probability distribution, meaning only 2 outcomes, pass or fail. Upgrade or not upgrade. Each of your 9 rolls has a 60% chance to pass, or upgrade.Out of 9 rolls with .6 probability of success, the chance you will get exactly X successes is:0 out of 9: 0.00026214400000000023, or 0.026%1 out of 9: 0.003538944000000003, or 0.359%2 out of 9: 0.021233664000000013, or 2.123%3 out of 9: 0.07431782400000005, or 7.432%4 out of 9: 0.1672151040000001, or 16.722%5 out of 9: 0.2508226560000001, or 25.082…
